Why is getting rid of old tshirts so tough? Like, I know I haven’t worn it in two years, but it was a *moment* in my life that I really enjoyed. (My T-shirt drawer is overflowing, so I really do need to pare it down)

We can throw away $120,000,000 flipping fighter jets into the sea, but can’t afford to give the pilots healthcare when they retire.

How Trump Plays Into Putin’s Hands, From Ukraine to Slashing U.S. Institutions Many of President Trump’s actions have been seen as benefiting Russia either directly or indirectly, so much so that Russian officials have celebrated some of his moves.

“It’s hard to see how Trump would have acted any differently if he were a Russian asset than how he has acted in the first 100 days of his second term.”

Huh. You don't say.

E.P.A. Set to Cancel Grants Aimed at Protecting Children From Toxic Chemicals The cancellations, set to apply to pending and active grants, also affect research into “forever chemicals” contaminating the food supply.

Decided to try watching “The History of Us” from 2010…& ugh, it already had a cutaway to Trump. 🤢 Dammit, I just wanted to watch some Revolutionary War documentary & apparently this is not it.

Headline: ICE came for their neighbor so these Tennesseans formed a human chain to protect him

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

There we go. Support this man.

Literally

Please explain to the class how this isn’t a poll tax on citizens who have changed their names. We’re waiting.

Tonight’s Val Kilmer feature: “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang”

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Oh my gosh. My boys! This was over a decade ago! Time, slow down, please.

The rain drops on my taxi are in focus, while the Jefferson monument is out of focus.

My phone choosing to focus on raindrops rather than a monument to the United States and honestly at the moment I kind of get it

4 years ago, SCIENCE for the WIN. I worked for a park district, so I got myself in early for my Covid vaccine. (This was just when it was exciting & felt hope that we were coming out of this, before the vaccine was fully weaponized & politicized. By the time I got the 2nd, the 5G conspiracy started)

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Happy Sunday from the world’s whiniest dog.

JPMorgan raises recession odds this year to 60%.

40% tariff on Wakonda. It’s the only source of Vibranium in the world so the Hulk won’t be able to make a lightsaber and then the Daleks will destroy Pandora or whatever the fuck.

Remember when we thought he might be the adult in the administration? Ugh, I hate it here.

I feel like we need to have a national book club & read ‘The Jungle’

I have the most adorable granddaughter ever. This scrunchy smile is bringing me joy, & her toddler Hurricane is keeping me busy & mind off of the dumpster fire that our country is willing jumping us into.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court was not for sale.

if there's one thing Evangelical Christians know it's that having the state execute a beloved dissident always stops that dissident's message from spreading so yeah seeking the death penalty for Luigi Mangione seems smart

Is it just me, or has she aged decades in the past 72 days? Hate will do that to you.

Some dandelion fluff pups!

Holy smokes, Cory Booker is still going!!

The image is a heatmap titled "Measles," showing measles cases across U.S. states from 1928 to 2003. States listed on the y-axis include Alaska, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The x-axis spans years from 1928 to 2003. A vertical line marks the introduction of the measles vaccine around 1963. The color scale at the bottom ranges from blue (0 cases) to red (4,000+ cases), with shades of green, yellow, and orange indicating intermediate values (1,000, 2,000, 3,000 cases). Before 1963, many states show frequent high case numbers (yellow to red), while after 1963, cases drop significantly, with mostly blue indicating near-zero cases.

And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.”
